The Halle Institute for Economic Research, the Centre interuniversitaire de recherche en économie quantitative (CIREQ) and the George Washington University – The Center for Economic Research (GW) are organizing the 18th Macroeconometric Workshop to be held in Halle (Saale) on December 12-13, 2017.
The workshop provides a platform to discuss new developments in the field of empirical and applied macroeconomic modelling and aims at bringing together academic researchers and practitioners. We invite applied and theoretical papers dealing with time series, business cycles, mixed frequency modelling and forecasting. Papers that explicitly cover the linkage between macroeconomics and financial markets based on frequency modelling are particularly welcome.
Each conference day is opened by an invited speaker followed by contributed papers and posters.
Keynote lectures are given by:
Massimiliano Marcellino (Bocconi University)
John H. Rogers (Federal Reserve Board)
The non-refundable workshop fee for participants is EUR 125 (reduced fee for PhD students EUR 90). The fee covers conference materials, coffee breaks, the lunch break (Wednesday), and the conference dinner (Tuesday). Please note that all participants have to cover their accommodation and travel expenses themselves.
The paper submission deadline is October 7, 2017 and decisions will be made by October 25, 2017. Registration will be possible from October 25, 2017.
